1. Gender
Male
Female
The gender split evenly, 50% for both
males and females. This is an advantage to
my findings as there will be an equal
balance of male to female views
2. Female
Male
Pop Pop
Rock Rock
Country Country
Dance Dance
Punk Punk
Rap Rap
Indie Indie
Some males ticked more
than one option in this Females also ticked more
question which shows their than one answer. The
variety in music tastes. The majority of them ticked ‘rock’
majority of them ticked as their preference
‘rock’ as their preference
3. Music Storage
Yes
No
Music storage is anything that holds
music for example and iPod
5. How do you get your music?
The majority of people said they downloaded their music
illegally, however there was an almost balance as many people
said they purchased it, whether that be online or in stores. They
could tick more than one option as there are many ways of
getting a hold of music. The reason I have not put this in a chart is
because the results would not fit
6. How much would you pay for an album
nothing
£1-£5
£6-£10
£10+
7. How do you listen to music
iPod
computer
radio
mobile
cd
tv
There were a range of results for this as there are many ways of
listening to music. The people could also choose more than one
option as they might listen to music in different ways
8. Do you read music
Do you read music magazines - female
magazines - male
Yes Yes
No No
The next question was ‘How often do you read them?’ the majority of
people choose the ‘every couple of weeks’ option as this is typically
when new releases of magazines are brought out, such as Kerrang!
The main magazines they read were either Kerrang! or Q. Both of these
are rock magazines which supports my plan for coursework
10. Do you feel magazines target more males
or females?
Male
Female
Both
11. What attracts you to a magazine?
• The majority of answers for this question were
either:
• Good artists involved
• The front cover is catching
• There are good articles/news in the magazine
12. Do you think there is a place for
another types of magazine?
Yes
No
The next question was ‘which genre do you feel could have their
own magazine?’. The response to this was mainly Indie, but in the
option for other they said that there were already enough
magazines for each type of genre but there could be a rock
magazine aimed at girls as they can be aimed at males most of
the time
13. Would you want extras within the
magazine?
• All of the answers said yes, the most popular
suggestions were:
• Posters
• Cd’s
14. If you do not buy magazines why is
this?
• The main answer for this was that they could
find out everything they needed to know via
the internet
• Others said it was because they were too
expensive
• Nobody said it was because they had no
interest in music
15. do you own any band if so what do you own?
merchandise?
Wrist Band
Yes Poster
No Autograph
CD
Hoodie
Tops
Again they could choose more than
on option which is why there are so
many results for this question
16. Favourite artist?
• The kooks
• You me at six
• Bring me the horizon
• Katy Perry
These were the majority of results collected
17. are you more likely to purchase a
magazine if your favourite artist is on it?
